Chapter 28: The Entrance

"Qin Ziyuan …… I actually think he's quite daring." Dong Xie felt that if he were to be replaced, he might not have Qin Ziyuan's boldness. But if it really came to that, it would be the time when Endless approached death. He stared deathly at the video in front of him. Five minutes had passed. Dong Ning was worried that the killer would be impatient to wait, although she promised to pay regardless of whether she did it or not, except that she would pay triple the amount if she did it and succeeded. Finally …… on the video, Qin Ziyuan walked out. "He survived ……." Dong Xie did not know what kind of mood to be in at this time. "Ning, if we were the ones to perform this Bloodletter, I'm afraid we'd all be dead. I am completely unable to understand what the path to life in the bloodletter is ……" "I actually have a few speculations, but I can't verify them either." Dong Ning ruffled her bangs and said, "My opinion is that Qin Ziyuan's view that the group of four is a living target to attract firepower cannot be said to be wrong." "You see it that way?" Dong Ning's statement caused Dong Xie to be very slightly surprised, "Then why did that middle-aged uncle die before when he was clearly right next to Qin Xiaohei?" "Actually, I wasn't very surprised when Qin Xiaohei died at that time." Dong Xie froze, and he suddenly said, "Wait, Ah Ning, don't say anything yet, let me think for a moment." Dong Xie didn't want to rely on his sister's help for all his future bloodletters, he wanted to exercise his ability to think independently with the help of other people's bloodletter quests. "You said that you are not surprised …… why ……" Dong Xie thought for a moment, then said, "Is it because …… you think the path to life is too simple in that case?" "Pretty much. To be exact, after the second foursome appeared, I realized that Qin Ziyuan would validate this life path. But the problem is that …… the first time the evil spirit killed Qin Xiaoxuan, and the point in time when the first foursome left stuck too too close." "Too …… close? I see!" Dong Xie immediately reacted, "If the path to life is that simple, then the time wouldn't be so close to remind people if it's not the evil spirit that kills as soon as the foursome leaves?" "That's right. That's what it means. But the frequency of the foursome's appearances makes me think, again, that the living target theory would be correct. It's just that it's not enough to simply have them follow the protection target." "Well …… you're right. Speaking of the issue of living targets, Aning, when I first learned of the content of the blood letter instructions, I was thinking of a problem, the target of protection is four people, and the occupants are the same four people. The number is exactly the same, which means ……" "Right. That's what I was thinking. From the very beginning, the occupants are the ones who are likely to be used as living targets to be hunted by the evil spirits." "But it's unlikely that the …… occupants would sacrifice their lives to protect ……" "Right. That's why those two sets of four appeared, for the occupants to sacrifice their lives to be used as living targets, they wouldn't have to be killed by the evil spirits." Dong Xie was instantly confused, "Wait, that's still not right! The evil spirits have always only killed the protection targets, not the occupants!" "This is the key to finding the way to life." Dong Ning stretched out four fingers and said, "Brother, the key lies here. The Evil Spirit only kills the protection objects and not the occupants. The occupants, on the other hand, do not have the ability to protect them from being killed by the evil spirits. But now, the evil spirits have finally killed the occupants. The one who died is no longer the protection object, but Lin Xuan who is a resident!" Mo Yuan had been keeping in contact with Dong Evil's siblings in the multiplayer video chat, and when he heard their conversation at this moment, he thought that Dong Ning's statement made sense, and hurriedly asked, "Dong Ning, then what do you think is the reason for the change?" "I don't know." Dong Ning shook her head slightly, "But the Evil Spirit must have experienced some kind of opportunistic change from killing protection targets to killing occupants." "I think it's strange." Dong Xie analyzed from the side, "From the apartment's point of view, as long as all the protection targets are killed, the occupants will surely die, so why start choosing to kill the occupants? Instead, both protection targets are still alive?" It was now less than 15 minutes until the end of the Bloodletter mission. Originally, Dong Xie thought that there would only be one protection target left in the last 30 minutes of the bloodletter mission, or at least the last 20 minutes. But now there were actually two protection targets still alive, which was really quite unexpected. In the Bloodletter instructions, it was only required that four people be protected during the Bloodletter mission. As long as one of the last people survived past 2:00 am, the mission would be considered successful and the Shadow Curse would not be activated. Whether or not the evil spirits would hunt down the occupants again was another question next. "Why are there two targets left at the end? And it also started killing the occupants?" This query also made Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan start to feel puzzled. At the last moment, they could only move forward from walking to the highway. There were no clues whatsoever within the house, and they could only bet that those four people hadn't gone far. They definitely didn't have their own means of transportation, and they hadn't seen any bicycles or anything like that around the house before, so they might still be able to catch up with them if they hurriedly chased after them. This had become the last hope. "I …… I …… can't run anymore ……" Running all the way down, Qin Xiaoming suddenly stopped. Chen Fu was anxious and rushed up and grabbed him by the collar, saying, "I'll pull you to run! Must run! Maybe there's still time to catch up!" Joking aside, the Bloodletter Quest was soon to end! The evil spirits would definitely kill Qin Xiaoming and Qin Xiaolan at the last minute! "I …… I really can't run anymore …… I won't be able to eat if I keep running, the evil spirit hasn't appeared anyway, let's rest for a while …… " "Rest a ghost ah! Do you know what kind of situation we are in now!" Watching the cell phone video, Dong Xie and Dong Ning were both pondering just what opportunity the evil spirit was motivated by in going from killing the protection object to killing the occupants. Time kept passing …… only the last 10 minutes. "Wait!" Suddenly, Dong Xie thought of a very important question. He immediately looked at Dong Ning and said, "Ning, according to your theory, the Evil Spirit is now choosing to kill the occupants, which means that it has fulfilled a certain opportunity, allowing the occupants to begin to turn into targets for attracting firepower?" "Yes." "Which means that the Evil Spirit will choose to kill the occupant now that the protection target won't die anymore? But if that opportunity is discovered, the occupants will be able to make the evil spirits kill someone other than them?" Ignoring all that for now, there is absolutely no way to avoid death in this Bloodletter quest's life path itself! In other words, the occupants had to trade the deaths of unrelated passersby in exchange for staying alive themselves? This was too bloody and cruel! This apartment, completely utilizes human life as if it were grass and ants! The last 10 minutes. Qin Ziyuan realized that his life was entering the final countdown. At the last moment, what form will the entrance to hell related to "that time" take?
